Michael and Sam left Dean alone, as the Omega closed the door Sam let out a heavy sigh, shoulders drooping
"Your brother will be alright." Michael tried to comfort the human, wings twitching not knowing how, it was a lot of information to take in "He's strong. I'm sure it's ok."

"But it's not Michael." Sam turned and met Michael's eyes, the 15 year old was just as tall as the other Alpha "Dean is not okay!" He hissed trying to keep his voice down. He knew Benny wouldn't say anything, as his job was to gaurd. Sam pulled Michael down the hall away from Dean's door "I've never seen him so scared! Not when he presented, not when he found out he was getting married, not when he moved away... Michael he's terrified. He wants to act fine, he wants to act tough, but Alistair and that bitch Abaddon broke him." Sam's eyes were filling with tears as he swallowed and spoke "He's not the same Michael."

Michael didn't know what to say to that. It was true, the headstrong, speak your mind, fight the world Dean he had grown to care about wasn't the scared, submissive and frightened person he had just talked to.
"Give him Time Sam. He'll see he's safe and he will heal. The only thing we can do for him right now is be there."

Sam nodded sniffed and wiped his face with his sleeve before shrugging
"I guess you're right."

Michael nodded, tried to smile. But he didn't know for sure if he was right. He had no idea if everything was actually going to he ok or not, he didn't know if Dean would ever fully be ok.
Michael dropped Sam off at the door to the lad's guest room, gave the young man a bow and headed off to flag down Charlie. He knew Dean was in a fragile state and sending any maid in to clean his room would cause issues for the Omega right now.
"Charlie?" Michael asked upon entering the kitchen. The Red headed human was busy as work flirting with one of the other maids when he came in

She stopped, looked at the Prince wide eyed before straightening up and clearing her throat
"Your Majesty." She bowed at first, then frowned and gave a curtsey and small nervous smile

"If you're more comfortable bowing, than by all means." Michael shook his head with a chuckle "But in all seriousness I must speak to you privately in the hall."

The other maids and cooks whispered and jabbed before Charlie shot them a death glare.
As the Alpha and Beta came into the Hall Charlie let out a breath she hadn't realized she was holding and began to ramble on
"I'm so sorry your Majesty, I will stop the flirting, and the joking, I do get my work done I promise. Lord Roman was just jesting when he said I was impossible. I promise just-"

"What did you think I wanted to talk to you about Miss?" Michael crossed his arms raising an eyebrow "I am not here to fire you and send you back to your previous Lord's"

Charlie let out a sigh and chuckled nervously playing with the end of her braid
"I'm sorry. I thought I was being fired."

"Why?"

"I don't know. I get fired from a lot of things... Something about not being a proper lady." The beta huffed looking up timidly st Michael

"Allow me to enlighten you on a little secret Ms Charlie," Michael muttered motioning for Charlie to lean in as if to hear a secret "Proper ladies are boring, social norms are boring, and I think it is refreshing that you joke and jest, that you bow instead of curtsey, and that you sneak off for Mysterious rendezvous' with the stable maids and laundry girls." Michael gave the girl a wink before straightening back up

Charlie smiled widely and grabbed Michael's hand in both of her shaking it almost violently
"That means a lot your Michael! Er uh your Majesty..."

"Only formalities in front of the the other staff please. Michael is fine when it is you and I, or even us and Dean." Michael explained with an amused twinkle in his eyes
"But onto serious matters and why I came to find you. There is a mess in Dean's room that needs to he cleaned. I felt he wouldn't want anyone else to clean it up."

Charlie gave the Prince a raised brow
"What kind of mess exactly?"

"Not what you are thinking. It's shattered glass and splintered wood mostly." Michael explained his wings readjusted behind his back as he looked at the funny little Beta

Charlie raised and eyebrow before closing her mouth and shaking her head
"You do you I suppose. Though I figured there would be no frickle frackle for a while considering what Dean's been through-"

"It was nothing like that Charlie. As I told you, it isn't anything like the mess you were thinking." The Prince huffed out his face darkening slightly with a blush of embarrassment

Charlie didn't bother hiding her laughter as the woman playfully nudged the soon to be King's arm and moved past him
"Good." She chuckled with a swish of her hips as she walked away, she paused and looked over her shoulder "The hip swish was not for you your Majesty." She tossed him a wink and scurried off to clean Dean's chambers.

Michael smiled a little before looking in the kitchen momentarily as he passed by the open door. The Omega from the night previous, Kelly, brushed past the Archangel in a hurry to the dining room and this time the scent all over hers was undeniably Lucifer. It made the Crowned Prince bristle at the thought of Lucifer being intimate with anyone, though he knew he had no right to think such a thing.
As Kelly passed by him again the Prince intervened. Trying to ignore the bubble of jealousy filling the hole in his chest.
"Excuse me, Kelly?"

"Yes your Majesty?" The Omega woman bowed, her wings lowering in a sign of respectful submission

"Have you happened upon General Pellegrino? Lucifer?" Michael asked using one of Lucifer's official titles "He was to depart on a special assignment today, I was hoping to speak to him before he leaves..." Michael explained in a rushed tone

Kelly gave the Crowned Prince a look he had a hard time deciphering before she smiled and spoke
"I happened to see him heading to the stables as I made my way here this morning. If you hurry you may catch him... Though bring that satchel of rations to him. It would make for a decent excuse I believe."

Michael paid no attention to what the maid was trying to imply as she went back to her duties. The Archangel grabbed the bag from the crate it was resting on and almost broke into a full on sprint to the stables, hoping to catch the other Alpha in time.
